How to Make Eggnog Muffins

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups eggnog, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. If desired, stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
